          Potter's Touch Turban Ministry

          Our Mission: The Potter’s Touch Turban Ministry seeks to show God’s love and compassion by providing comfortable and attractive head coverings for adults and children undergoing cancer treatment.

          What We Do: Linda Potter, who was battling ovarian cancer, started this ministry in January 2003. During the past sixteen years the Potter’s Touch outreach has grown, and more than 21,000 head coverings have been distributed. Each month, approximately 150 turbans and caps are delivered to the American Cancer Society, Chemoflage (similar to ACS’s “Look Good, Feel Better” program,) Mitchell Cancer center in Alabama,  Gwinnett County area oncology offices, and individuals in our church, community, and beyond. 

          An Invitation: Each Thursday at 10:00am, ten or more ladies (known as the Turbanettes) gather in the Heritage Hall Potter’s Touch room to cut, pin, sew, and serge fabric into colorful turbans and caps for those whose hair loss is yet another reminder of their fight against cancer.

          If you have sewing skills and a desire to serve, email Deanie Challen at dchallen@comcast.net. If you or a friend has need of turbans or sleep caps, contact Deanie or Ella Collier at ecollier@snellvilleumc.org.
